Owen Sound Attack News Release


The Owen Sound Attack is pleased to announce that they have acquired forward Daniel Catenacci from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in exchange for forward Andrew Fritsch and a 2nd Round Draft Pick in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection.

Catenacci, the first overall pick in the 2009 OHL Priority Selection has spent the last two seasons with the Greyhounds. During the 2010/2011 season, the Newmarket, ON. native compiled 26 goals and 45 assists for 71 points in 67 games played and was a 3rd Round Selection of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Catenacci was also a member of Team Canada's Under 18 team this past spring in Germany.

"We're are extremely excited to acquire a player like Daniel.", stated Attack General Manager Dale DeGray. "He is a front line player that is a scoring threat every time he is on the ice. This was a deal that we could not pass up."

Going to Sault Ste. Marie is Andrew Fritsch, who was acquired in a deal with the Niagara Ice Dogs just prior to last season. In 58 games last season, the Brantford native notched 27 goals and tallied 62 points in 57 games. The 18 year old appeared in only 7 of the Attack's playoff games, notching 2 assists.

"We would like to wish Andrew nothing but the best.", said DeGray. "Andrew was an important piece of our championship team and his accomplishments as a member of the Owen Sound Attack will always be appreciated."

Catenacci will be in training camp next Wednesday, August 31st when the Attack veterans report.
